Rated 97 points James Suckling
Superb depth and intensity. Love the aromas of dried apricot and lemon with minerals and hints of dry ice. Full body. Fabulous fruit yet fresh and agile. Medium sweet. Drink or hold. Better to decant if you drink it young. Inner quote mark (5/2015)
Rated 97 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Almost floral aromas open the pure and fresh 7% alcohol 2013 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Gold Capsule and intermixes flavors of wet stones, lemons and limes. On the palate this is an electrifying signature Riesling of 2013: sweet, lush and piquant and always precise, though super-concentrated. The finish is complex and long, always salty and stimulating. This is surely a wine made for decades. (SR)
Rated 95 points Vinous
Golden yellow. Ethereal aromas of strawberry, acacia honey and brown spices waft over delicate smoky botrytis. Deft, sweet apricot fruit with refined acidity give this wine an airy texture in spite of its honeyed depth. Intense minerality ensures a convincingly long and spicy finish. A great effort, this is one of the finest Ausleses made in the vintage. (JP)
